I used to say “there’s nowhere to eat breakfast in Vancouver”. Until one day, I decided to challenge that idea, myself, and the city of Vancouver to a breakfast adventure. Each weekend (almost), I search out a new place to eat breakfast. This is what I have come across so far...

Viva Fine Foods & Bakery

Whether you are on the fly or wanting to linger over a coffee and breakfast, Viva accommodates. There is something about this place that is just so appealing to me. Inside seating is a store-length window seat. Outside features a lovely sidewalk patio. The display case is abundant with perfectly stacked goods. And the food is quality.

Popular items include their muffins, scones and tarts. Also available are fresh salads and amazing paninis – the bread baked on the spot. From the breakfast menu, order from a selection of omelettes, bennys, french toast or hot grain cereal. I had the Vegetarian Omelette which came with homefries, baguette, orange juice and my choice of coffee or tea. I left feeling very content and full.
